agree. a powercore 6000 is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. I'm done with firewire at the moment till until the future gets a bit more clear as to what's actually happening with it. apple's recent moves are certainly worrying, for example. spending a couple hundred on a firewire device is fine, but a couple grand feels like a risky bet at this point in time unless I have a LOT of work lined up in the very near future!
